I don't think so? This is a topic on depression and quite frankly, no one has answers. You can't make sense of what I'm saying as a possible reason as to why we're seeing depression in the macro across time periods?

People are depressed today because they were depressed yesterday, and yesterday, and tomorrow and tomorrow. They were always depressed and will always be depressed. So, what do large amounts of people most likely have in common? It's a spiritual issue tied to emotional experiences, and under some ways of life, it's not even considered an "issue", it's considered discernment.

There's a lot of ways to meditate and live life. I can urge you to seek God, but you wouldn't appreciate it if I said that (so I won't say it).

I’m only taking issue with the idea that by having a pleasant childhood you must live a life depressively mourning it.

If you only mean to say that depressive moments are an intrinsic and inevitable one-of-many flavors of life, I’d agree with that. This is much different from what I’d consider clinical, chronic depression of course.

You don’t need to urge me to seek God, that already comes from within.
